4.3.4 DMZ

Virtual DMZ exposes one client to the Internet, allowing this

client to receive all inbound packets directed to your Local Area

Network.

Inbound trac from the Internet is usually discarded and routed

to a specic client only if port forwarding or a port trigger has

been congured on the network. In a DMZ conguration, one

network client receives all inbound packets.

Setting up DMZ on a network is useful when you need incoming

ports open or you want to host a domain, web, or e-mail server.

Caution: Opening all the ports on a client to the Internet makes the

network vulnerable to outside attacks. Please be aware of the security

risks involved in using DMZ.

To set up DMZ:

1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >

DMZ tab.

2. Congure the setting below. When done, click Apply.

IP address of Exposed Station: Key in the client’s LAN IP

address that will provide the DMZ service and be exposed

on the Internet. Ensure that the server client has a static IP

address.

To remove DMZ:

1. Delete the client’s LAN IP address from the IP Address of

Exposed Station text box.

2. When done, click Apply.
